Skin biopsy was performed. DA and CAG regiment were administrated.ResultsSweet's syndrome was diagnosed by skin biopsy.Corticosteroids therapy alone was not effective. Complete remission was achieved by CAG regiment and skin rash has been effectively controlled.Three months later Sweet' s syndrome relapsed and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia developed into acute myelomonocytic leukemia.
